	BMW 6 Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In 1989 the 6 Series was supplanted by the 8 Series, but in late 2003 the 6 Series was reintroduced (as a 2004 model), with Coupe and Convertible versions based on the BMW E63 and BMW E64 platforms, respectively.
		In 1983 BMW took the M88/3, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis, creating the M635CSi, the US variant of which was called the M6.

	ITV Motoring - BMW 6-Series
		BMW says this is a technology transfer from the Williams-BMW Formula 1 team, and shouldn’t interfere with the 645 driver’s view of the road ahead.
		The Adaptive (swivelling) Headlamp system is available, and BMW has made the point that, because of the way it’s set up for right-hand drive cars, it should be switched off when a British-market 645 ventures onto Continental roads.
		BMW doesn’t pretend that for a long journey this is anything other than a two-plus-two for a pair of adults and a pair of children (rear legroom and headroom both being limiting factors), although I do quibble with its suggestion that adults might find the rear seats reasonable for a short trip.

		The 6 Series cars are shorter in overall length than the 5 Series sedans, but benefit from a relatively long wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels).
		The BMW 6 Series delivers stellar performance, brilliant handling, and that arrow-like stability that marks this marque.
		The 6 Series shares some key elements with the new 5 Series sedan, but it was designed from the ground up as a coupe rather than a sedan with two doors lopped off.

	BMW: BMW 6 Series 2004
		BMW is not just continuing the heritage of the legendary original 6 Series (1977-1989), it is launching the modern expression of an icon, while paying homage to the company's long tradition of luxury coupes.
		In addition to all the safety features characteristic of a BMW, the new 6 Series Coupe utilizes run-flat tires, allowing the driver to continue for a certain distance even when a tire is completely flat.

		BMWs solution with the new 5 is to incorporate a planetary gearset in the steering column and through it vary the steering ratio based on vehicle speed.
		I’m not saying these were bad systems—they were still significantly better than the average sedan’s—but I expected better from BMW.
		With the 5 interior trim choices are limited to “titanium,” a traditional brown glossy wooed, and a dark gray stained glossy maple.

	Inside Line: BMW 5 Series -
		BMW finally brought the 5 Series to America for the 1975 model year when the 3.0Si's SOHC, 3.0-liter, straight six was installed to produce the 530i.
		The basic lineup of the new 5 Series is unchanged from before, though the wagons won't be along until the 2005 model year.
		All 5 Series got revised front fascias for 1995, and the 540i was now available matched to a six-speed manual transmission and a lowered, Motorsport-tuned suspension with 17-inch wheels and tires.

		The BMW Concept M5 is based on the 5 Series sedan launched in 2003.

	BMW 5 series
		With the new 5 Series announced yesterday, BMW is stretching this philosophy to bring a replacement design to market more advanced and less traditional than even the E36 3 series was in 1990.
		Moving down the car, the 5 Series has no classic BMW body side grove (a feature that Audi seems keen to pick up – witness the new A3 and Nuvolari concept) to give a cleaner form.
		Code named E60, the new car is the 5th generation 5 Series and replaces a car widely perceived as the class benchmark with a marginally longer, wider and taller design that offers more space for passengers and particularly luggage.

	BMW 3-Series
		Where BMW used to rave of 10 airbags in some models, there are now a more manageable six airbags in the latest 3-Series - two in the front, two in the sides of the front seats and curtains down the length of each side to help meet new US side-impact regulations.
		BMW has spent years - 30, to be precise - building the 3-Series up to be the sports sedan of choice.
		The E90 model 3-Series, like all new BMW sedans, has no spare tyre, instead relying on run-flat tyres, which boast a firmer construction and stiff rubber inner to allow them to be driven for a couple of hundred kilometres for repair.

	Inside Line: BMW 3 Series -
		With a chopped tail and the semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the E30 aboard, the 318ti was intended to extend the 3 Series appeal downmarket and attract entry-level buyers.
		Dropped into a modified 3 Series two-door body shell (the flared fenders, more steeply raked rear window and higher trunk lid meant only the hood was left untouched from more plebian 3s), the Bosch fuel-injected "M Power" four was rated at 192 horsepower at a wailing 6,750 rpm when it finally got to North America.
		Structurally, the body shell was, BMW claimed, 70 percent stiffer than the E36 and the extended wheelbase allowed the engine to be moved further back in the chassis to again achieve a 50/50 weight distribution.

	BMW 8-Series
		BMW heard the message loud and clear by 1993 when it launched the V8-powered 840Ci, which sold alongside the V12 version (which became known as the 850Ci) until 1996 when the V12 was unceremoniously dumped.
		But just to prove that newer is not necessarily better, BMW failed to capture anything like the same level of public acceptance when its all-new spiritual successor for the 6-Series was released in the early 1990s.
		The only problem is that a late-model BMW 635i Coupe with its classic, high-stepping in-line six-cylinder engine and manual gearbox, is a nicer thing to drive and is also held in higher esteem by enthusiasts.

	hotbimmer - BMW Articles : The New BMW 1 Series

	BMW 1 Series Draws Closer
		BMW says the introduction of the 1 Series was part of the group's strategy to expand its market segments and not rely solely on its long-established 3, 5 and 7 series models.
		BMW is set to make owning one of its cars a little easier with the launch of the new 1 Series, which will replace the 3 Series as its entry-level car next year.
		Panke said the rear-wheel-drive 1 Series-to be introduced in the European market in the third quarter of next year-would bring in a different group of customers to BMW.

	BMW 1 Series - In Depth - GermanCarFans.com
		The BMW 1 Series is a good example of what is feasible to deal with the trade-off between weight- and space-saving compounds, on the one hand, and the use varietally pure material for better recyclability on the other.
		The BMW 1 Series was designed with those drivers in mind who on the one hand opt for an agile, functional car, but on the other do not wish to do without sporty motoring characteristics and perfection right down to the smallest detail.
		The BMW 1 Series comes as standard with two-stage activating airbags for the driver and front-seat passenger, side airbags sited in the side sections of the front seats as well as additional side head airbags which are accommodated in the roof lining.

	BMW 1 Series - First Sight
		BMW are to produce approximately 150,000 1 Series per year (now not to be sold in North America), less than half the number of the 3 series sold in Europe and a little more than Audi typically sells of the A3 in Europe.
		Unlike the 7, 6 and 5 Series cars, the 1 Series does not have indicator lamps shrouding the top of its headlamps, or a bonnet surface that extends over the top of them as previous BMW designs had, which is the reason the car has a slightly startled, wide-eyed appearance.
		The 1 Series is uniquely rear wheel drive in this class and has an aluminium front axle and a battery mounted in the boot floor (run flat tyres so no spare wheel) to help provide the 50/50 weight distribution (for the lighter petrol engine variants) that BMW strives for in all of its cars.
